Selected work

Every engagement has a before and an after.

Three builds documented in full — what was actually there when I arrived, what got built, and what is still running today. The specifics differ every time. What carries over is how the reading gets done.

01 National expansion CEO · 2024–2026

A founder community that wanted to grow

The concept was proven in one room in Austin. The systems, team, tech stack, sponsorship model and expansion playbook that would let it work in seventeen cities at once did not exist yet. I built them, then expanded.

02 Stabilization COO · 2023–2024 Shared on request

A retreat center under real pressure

A mental health organization losing footing on three fronts at once — finances, leadership and clinical governance. I came in as COO and got it standing again, without ever pausing the care being delivered.

03 Zero to one Co-founder & CEO · 2020–2026

A wellness brand built from a blank page

No brand, no audience, no operations, no HR, no reporting. Over four years I built all of it — including an organic audience of 700,000 with no paid media — then handed it over and moved to advisor.

The next step

The case studies show what got built. A call shows what you would build first.

Thirty minutes, no deck, no pitch. Tell me where the company actually is, and I will tell you what I would look at first — whether or not you hire me.
